Downgrade windows 8.1 to 8

    Hey Guys
    I recently updated from windows 8 to 8.1.

    Since the upgrade it takes five times as long to start up the laptop and the same to start apps i.e. Word, Firefox etc.

    Is there a way to downgrade back to win 8 without loosing apps?

    I have searched the net for this and the majority of people who have upgraded are having the same issue and there doesn't seem to be a resolution.

    5.89GB available, 64-bit

    Without backups, that's a no.

    It might be useful to determine why the PC is running slowly.
    After installing windows 8.1 possibilities include that
    • there will be a lot of updates,
    • the search indexer will be recreating a list of what's on your PC,
    • and quite likely the windows 10 assessment will also be slowing down the PC.

    Running resource monitor

    perfmon.exe /res
    and have a look through the tabs and related graphs to see whether it's CPU, disk or memory that is in heavy usage.

    You may be able to determine a particular process that is taking a lot of resources, or it might be one of the many services running as svchost.exe.

    You shouldn't end the process without having some idea as to what it's doing though.
